Default Taillights won't light up? Only when Braking or Turn Signals..

My Tail Lights won't turn on? I know it's not the bulbs cuz they work when I brake and when I use the turn signal they work too.
It's as if I had my lights off. At night when I turn on the lights my headlights turn on but my tail lights no go?

Any one knows what to do?

Check your taillight fuse under driver side dash.

And where would this fuse be located?

It's the 10 amp fuse under your dash. In the corner of the box.

Also extra fuses are in the Fuse box cover in the engine compartment. There is also a fuse remover tool you'll need.

Describe what's wrong with your tail lights. If only the brake and turn signals work, your "running" filaments are probably burnt. If your amber running lights are also out, you may have a burnt fuse.
